We divide 52716860 by 421
We want to divide 52716860 by 421.

Advancing to step 1:
421 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 421

Step 2:
421 can be fit into 52 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 52, we end up with 52.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 527 / 421

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 527 by 421, we get 1 and a remainder of 106.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 421 from 527 to get 106.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 106 and continue with: 1061 / 421

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 1061 by 421, we get 2 and a remainder of 219.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 842 from 1061 to get 219.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 219 and repeat the process: 2196 / 421

On to step 5:
421 can be fit into 2196 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 91.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 125.0
The remainder is 91 after subtracting 2105 from 2196.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 91, then repeat: 918 / 421

Let's proceed to step 6:
421 goes into 918 2 times with a remainder of 76.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1252.0
Subtracting 842 from 918 leaves us with 76.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 76, then repeat: 766 / 421

Going ahead to step 7:
421 can be fit into 766 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 345.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12521.0
Deduct 421 from 766 and we're left with 345.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 345, then carry on: 3450 / 421

Let's proceed to step 8:
421 goes into 3450 8 times with a remainder of 82.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 125218.0
If we subtract 3368 from 3450, we get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
820 divided by 421 is 1 with a remainder of 399.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 125218.1
If we take 421 away from 820, we end up with 399.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3990, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
421 can be fit into 3990 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 201.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 125218.19
Subtract 3789 from 3990 to get 201.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2010, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
2010 divided by 421 is 4 with a remainder of 326.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 125218.194
Subtract 1684 from 2010 to get 326.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 421 fits into 3260 7 times, leaving a remainder of 313.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 125218.1947
Subtract 2947 from 3260 to get 313.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
421 can be fit into 3130 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 183.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 125218.19477
If we subtract 2947 from 3130, we get 183.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1830, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 125218.19477 and a remainder of 0.000183.
